7 Transactions Between Users
7.1 Through the Sites, CCN provides electronic web-based platforms for exchanging information between the Users. CCN additionally provides electronic web-based transaction platforms for the Users to place, accept, conclude, manage and fulfil orders for products and services online within the Sites. However, CCN does not represent any User in specific transactions for any of the services.

7.2 The Users are hereby made aware that there may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretences. CCN shall use reasonable means to verify the accuracy of certain information which is provided by the paying Users when they register for a paying membership service on the Sites.

All Users shall deal with other Users at their own risk.
7.3 Each User acknowledges that it is fully assuming the risks of conducting any transactions in connection with using the Sites or the Services, and that it is fully assuming the risks of liability or harm of any kind in connection with subsequent activity of any kind relating to products and services that are the subject of transactions using the Sites.

Such risks also include the risks that the provision of the products or services offered on the Sites may violate or may be asserted to violate Third Party Rights, and the risk that each User may incur costs of defence or other costs in connection with the third party(ies)’ assertion of Third Party Rights, or in connection with any claims by any Party that it is entitled to defence or indemnification in relation to assertions of rights, demands or claims by Third Party Rights’ claimants. Such risks also include the risks that consumers, other purchasers, end-users of products or others claiming to have suffered injuries or harms relating to products originally obtained by the Users of the Sites as a result of transactions in connection with using the Sites may suffer harms and/or assert claims arising from their use of such products. All of the foregoing risks are hereafter referred to as “Transaction Risks“. Each User agrees that CCN shall not be liable or responsible for any damages, claims, liabilities, costs, harms, inconveniences, business disruptions or expenditures of any kind that may arise as a result of or in connection with any Transaction Risks.
7.4 The Users are solely responsible for all the terms and conditions of the transactions conducted on, through or as a result of the use of the Sites or the Services, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment, returns, warranties, shipping, insurance, fees, taxes, title, licenses, fines, permits, handling, transportation and storage.
7.5 The Users agree to provide all information and materials as may be reasonably required by CCN in connection with your transactions conducted on, through or as a result of the use of the Sites or the Services.

7.6 In the event that any User has a dispute with any Party in relation to a transaction, such User agrees to release and indemnify CCN (and our agents, affiliates, directors, officers and employees) from all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, costs, expenses and damages (including without limitation any actual, special, incidental or consequential damages) arising out of or in connection with such transaction.

Each User hereby further agrees that CCN is not responsible and shall have no liability to you, for any material posted by others, including defamatory, offensive or illicit material and that the risk of damages from such material falls entirely on the respective User. CCN reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you shall cooperate with CCN in asserting any available defences.
8.7 CCN shall not be liable for any special, direct, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential damages or any damages whatsoever (including but not limited to damages for loss of profits or savings, business interruption and/or loss of information), whether in contract, negligence, tort, equity or otherwise or any other damages resulting from any of the following:
